AKG C414 XLII Reference Multipattern Condenser Microphone

C414 XLII

Reference multipattern condenser microphone

The classic C12 sound

for recording of lead vocals and solo instruments in studio and on stage

The C414 XLII multi-pattern condenser microphone offers a choice of nine polar patterns for the perfect sonic capture for every application. A peak hold LED displays even the shortest overload peaks. For live-sound applications and permanent installations, all controls can easily be disabled for trouble-free use.

The C414 XLII version differs from the C414 XLS version in one major respect – the capsule. The C414 XLII’s slight presence boost and impressive spatial reproduction are both similar to the legendary AKG C12 microphone from 1953.
